/ 7 challenges islanded utilities face (and how to turn them into opportunities)

A practical guide for microgrid operators integrating renewables into isolated grids

Running an islanded grid in 2026 is nothing like it was 10 years ago.

From Tonga to New Caledonia, and across remote islands around the world, the utilities we work with face the same reality: integrating renewables into isolated grids is complex — and the tools haven't kept up.

Based on our field experience, we identified 7 key challenges islanded utilities face. For each one, a concrete way to turn it into an opportunity.

We turned it into a white paper. Here it is.
